Autistic girl struggling

Bella19758

Hi guys

my name is Bella and I’m an 18 year old student with Asperger’s. Recently I have found I’ve been extremely emotional regarding all things in life, crying majority of days due to certain instances that cause sensory overloads. I’ve found I’ve been extremely down on myself and this has affected every aspect in my life and I find it very difficult to put into words exactly how I’m feeling. The only way I can describe it is complete isolation and though my parents believe they understand how I feel, they are not truly experiencing it and cannot understand my needs especially in times where I am so overwhelmed to the point I cannot speak. I’ve become so introverted whilst at home, locking myself in my room just to cry and questioning every decision I’ve ever made. I found this platform to hopefully find some people that can relate so I feel less alone.

thanks

  • Hi Bella,

    I’ve only recently joined this forum, and my reason for doing so was because I have been feeling so low, socially anxious and lonely lately, and I wanted to try and connect with other people who might understand… you are not alone if it helps to know that, I can relate to everything you say. Have you got any professional support?

    Hi,

    I’m currently seeking professional support for my ARFID diagnosis and have spoke to a couple councillors in the past. I find talking does help but in the moments where everything becomes too much and my thoughts spiral  it becomes very difficult to express into words. Have you ever spoke to anyone and found it helped?
